A wealthy American has fallen fr a new variation of an old money-getttng trick over here. And his misadventure has set the American colony to comparing notes on how to get gyrped in Paris. There are many cities where one can get gently gypped. Bui Paris la the only town we know where the gypping la done so cleverly and with such good humor that even the victim enjoys the affair. For example.

In the French capital there Is a full quota of befcgars. But not the panhandling sort ho sidle along the streets of New YorK, mumbling about no food for two days and eight children In the hospital. Ah. no. The Paris beggar takes his profession seriously.

He raises it to an art. There Is one ola woman who crouches despondently each evening on tho lordly steps or the Madeleine. Her clothes ar mere tatters. The shawl drawn over her white head la threadbare and mouldy. Tjer she crouches, eating the most appalling old crusts of bread.

Has Good Act. She does not say a word. Sn On of the noticeable innovations on the holiday program was the em phasis of the community idea, One time huge- wreaths swinging from the windows were alt the wayfarer got In the way of holiday heartening. To-- day the. wreaths are all in place but supplementing the ordinary decorations are adorable trees set up out- side the1 portals of homes where ease and plenty -abound; Along If th street (a region greatly affected by the diplomatic rou) jolly little Christmas trees agteam with lights and glittering; with tinsel stand without the household portals and quite well along- this thoroughfare, set in huge candlesticks within a glassed vestibule blase two great Christmas candles.

Wreaths swlng-Ing frdm the outer gates and the outer 1 doorways further enliven the residential Somehow this year all Washington gaily went-a-chrlst-maslng without regard to rank or station. Juvenile Set In the matter of gayety the Juve. lilies of course had the commanding role. Buds blossomed day In an 1 day out. Indeed there's no 'day -with out Its debutante and the plethora of debut parties has put the debutante's mammas to their wit ends trying to work out something that will make the coming out of any particular girl just a bit gayer and more Interesting than most, Jiist now, I should say that Louisa Ireland's party, ranks nrst.

The look of pleased amaze on tho transfigured face of old lady brings tears to his eyes. But If he waited a second, her further action would bring words of a different sorv to his lips. For the old lady's hands stop trembling till she stows the money away in her petticoat then instead of totter'-jg off to the nearest loaf of bread and cup of chocolate sho resumes he" forlorn fnnwln? at the meagre eru.t.

You can't begrudge her the money. The act is worth it. It was a different snare which tripped the wealthy American who is Just now furnishing gossip for the American colony. What got him and his severer "hundred dollars was the old. old prayerbook trick In nlw form.
